No change of my issue.

Good to know, thanks.

No.

In a file whose local var is set to german8, I often have to change
to british or american. Therefore, I am using a custom defun of
mine. Does not work either.

Btw, I had to change from en_US, en_GB, and de_AT to american,
british, and german8 respectively. This was caused by an issue of
Windows [2] which I had to start using in addition to my Linux and OS X
boxes (sharing the same .emacs.d[1]).

With the old naming scheme (de_AT, en_US, ...) it worked fine at
least on my non-Windows machines.

  1. https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs

  2. My Windows spellchecker is only able to use german8 instead of
  de_AT. My other boxes should be fine with both naming conventions.
